Girls' Frontline is a 2022 sci-fi anime, produced by Warner Bros. Japan and animated by Asahi Production. It is based on the manga adaptation of the mobile game "Girls' Frontline", both created by Chinese game studio MICA Team. Due to controversies between MICA and Yostar (the would-be publisher of the game), it is known as Dolls' Frontline in Japan.
The story takes place in the 2060s, following a major ecological disaster and then World War III, which left the entire world in shambles. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and robotics technology, coupled with a lack of human manpower, humanoid androids called "Dolls" have been pressed into many areas of service, including combat. In this role, they are referred to as "Tactical Dolls", or "T-Dolls" for short.
Taking place somewhere in Eastern Europe, the plot centers around Griffin & Kryuger: a T-Doll PMC lead by human commanders. They are tasked with combatting the forces of Sangvis Ferri, another PMC whose Dolls went rogue and massacred their human leaders and are now plotting to take over the world. Unlike in the mobile game that has a lone human Commander of unknown name and gender commanding the Tactical Dolls, the manga and anime have the female commander "Gentiane" serving as main human leader of the T-Dolls, alongside other Griffin commanders.
Uniquely, each T-Doll in the game and anime uses, is named after, and to some extent personifies a particular real-world firearm. Accordingly, the four main characters of Girls' Frontline are 16LAB's Anti-Rain "AR" Team (M4A1, ST AR-15, M4 SOPMOD II, and M16A1).
